Make the most refreshing summer cocktail

If you’ve been following along on instagram, you know I’m having a real moment with mango. I created this mango margarita recipe last summer when I was still drinking tequila (none for this pregnant momma) and now I’m finally sharing it with all of you.

It is SO easy to make because you can use frozen mango chunks from the freezer aisle. No need to peel and cut fresh mangos.

This recipe makes 2 very strong drinks but it can easily be doubled or quadrupled for a bigger crowd. I love to have a classic margarita, but Amy and I also love trying different margarita flavors for each taco Tuesday!

can I make this a shaken margarita instead of a frozen one?

Yes! Just replace the frozen mango and sweetener with 1/2 cup of mango juice or mango puree. Shake the mango juice in a cocktail shaker with the tequila and lime juice with ice.

Pour over ice and top with a little bit of lime seltzer water. Garnish with a wedge of lime and serve.

How to serve

This frozen margarita pairs perfectly with an outdoor happy hour alongside your favorite charcuterie board. My favorite way to serve them is on taco Tuesday alongside some amazing homemade tacos.

I also like to serve them at a party with some chips, salsa and guacamole.

Some of my favorite taco recipes are:

Ingredients

Frozen mango
Blanco tequila or silver tequila
Lime juice
Simple syrup, maple syrup, honey or agave syrup
Triple sec or any orange liqueur
Ice
Salt, sugar or tajin for the rim for lining the rim of your glass

Can I make it a mango mocktail

You can easily turn this mango margarita into a mocktail!! Just leave out the tequila and the triple sec.

Replace the tequila with the same amount of sparkling water – I prefer to use a lime flavored one. And you can add a splash of orange juice in place of the triple sec.

Add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper powder to add a little kick to this recipe.

How to make a frozen mango margarita

Step 1: blend margarita

To begin, place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. If you have trouble blending, you can add a splash more of water or lime juice.

Step 2: Prep margarita glasses

Then, prepare 2 glasses by rubbing a cut lime around the rim. Dip and twist the rim of the glass in kosher salt on a flat plate.

You can also use raw sugar or tajin for the rim. I love the spicy sweet mix of the tajin and mango.

Finally, divide the margaritas into the two prepped glasses and serve. Best if enjoyed immediately

Can i make this ahead of time?

This frozen mango margarita recipe is best enjoyed immediately, BUT there is a way to prepare it ahead of time. Blend the frozen margarita as instructed.

Then, pour it into silicone ice cube trays and freeze the trays of cubes. When you are ready to serve them, pop the cubes out and blend with a splash of water and serve!
